LŌCA represents the residents and home owners at the lakeside community of Lake Ōkāreka.
Lake Ōkāreka is a 10-minute drive from Rotorua and is located near Lake Tikitapu, Rotokakahi, and Tarawera. Ōkāreka is a popular destination year-round, with beaches accessible by both car and boat. Activities include picnics or barbeques, swimming, water skiing, yachting, kayaking, waka ama, and rainbow trout fishing. There are also several lakeside and bush walks around the Lake. A strong community spirit is evident in the presence of a volunteer Fire Brigade, a Tennis Club with two AstroTurf courts, multiple conservation groups, a Community Hall available for hire (and home to the Ōkāreka Preschool), and the Ōkāreka Fishing Club, which hosts two annual competitions. The Lake Ōkāreka Community Association (LŌCA) endeavours to promote, conserve, preserve and advance the interests and welfare of the community at Lake Ōkāreka; the environmental natural features and physical amenities of Lake Ōkāreka; and foster for the public benefit of a harmonious relationship within the community of Lake Ōkāreka. Membership to LŌCA is $30 per year. Many issues face our lake and lakeside community, with the committee continually responding to Council and Government plans as well as undertaking improvements to local facilities.
